I'm almost ready with the refactoring.
 
cool

@ProgramFOX Registered as false positive, added title to Bayesian doctype 'good', whitelisted user.
 
There, no more baba-dev alerts.
Refactoring+improvements done. (@Undo)
 
@JanDvorak wee! King Kong vs Sharks with Lasers
 
5:32 PM
oh, "sh*t" is in the post
but it's a quote, so...
@SmokeDetector ignore
 
@ProgramFOX Post ignored; alerts about it will not longer be posted.
 
including the asterisk?
 
@JanDvorak no - but I remember there are chat auto-flags for swearwords, so...
 
Never heard of such a thing
just some flag trolls
and guys like me who validate flags on posts like 'I said "fuck" so flag me'.
 
maybe I remember wrongly, but anyway
More important: I'll try to fix the HTML Entity thingy in the titles.
 
5:35 PM
(I said "fuck", BTW, so flag me :-)
 
Sam
@ProgramFOX Are Smokey's regexes's being ran against those bare strings? o_o
 
@Sam ?
 
Sam
@ProgramFOX Is Smokey escaping the html encoded chars at any point?
 
@Sam Not at all points, I think, but I should probably update that.
 
Sam
:O
So he could've been missing stuff then.
 
5:43 PM
Well... the initial testing is done at a HTML-encoded thingy.
And I never knew that until today :P
 
Sam
Better late than never. ;)
 
!!/rev?
 
there
And my commit message borked the !!/rev command :P
 
Sam
lol
 
6:05 PM

@SmokeDetector ignore
 
@Fundamental Post ignored; alerts about it will not longer be posted.
 
but... The cut-out shape comes looking like shit.

user259867
@Undo Is the body check limited to 1-rep users?
 
6:34 PM
@Fundamental Nope
 
Or maybe just remove "shit" from the list.
 
Should it be? It can be assumed when high-rep users talk about crap they really mean it
 
user259867
But sometimes it is an indicator of an offensive post.
 
hm, yeah
 
user259867
This particular user has 4 rep, so not "high" by any means, but a real user, not a troll who just dropped in.
 
user259867
6:37 PM
Keeping shit in and restricting to rep=1 might be the better way.
 
[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in body: Make any number by repeatedly adding 2 numbers by Runer112 on codegolf.stackexchange.com
 
hrm, what triggered that?
 
Maybe just quote the relevant part when reporting, so that we can assess it more easily, plus add a clean command?
 
@JanDvorak we use word boundaries
so "assume" shouldn't have triggered it
 
oh, black magic
 
6:38 PM
@Undo black magic.
 
oh, lol
 
Oh. I thought it was "assume"
 
I think I'll try limiting it to <50 rep users
Objections?
 
none
 
nope
 
6:40 PM
Rude high-reps are to be dealt with in a different way. Not objecting.
 
[ SmokeDetector ] Offensive body detected: Linux lock down route to avoid changes to the default route by user2820561 on unix.stackexchange.com
 
umm... where?
 
@JanDvorak it was "get the fuck off", but that has been edited
 
Oh.
 
... really? :P

I am laughing for 1 hour after reading your answer.. — Sachin Shekhar Feb 4 '12 at 20:01
 
wow
 
user259867
To my understanding: the post was edited, changing its timestamp -- but the API returned the old body for a little while. Caching.
 
sounds like a medical problem

@bummi #2 and #3 were both very clear to me as tool rec; what would you say that #1 is?
@bummi ot - general software?
 
@LynnCrumbling same problem as hours before ... I flagged this one as Spam stackoverflow.com/a/27908988/1699210 maybe I should have flagged the answer we have been talking before as Spam too ?
 
gone already.
never even saw it.
@bummi Flagged that question with mod-flag:
> This user has continuously spammed questions with this product (stackoverflow.com/users/2447930/nadia?tab=answers). This question is specifically asking about concerns of using perforce in the cloud, not services which offer it.
Ha, this turned up in search for more q's:
Yes! Thanks that did it. Assembla has a very very poor documentation, and, apparently, even what is there is not correct :P — HoneyBadger yesterday
@bummi Their answers were all removed: stackoverflow.com/users/2447930/nadia
 
@LynnCrumbling spam was flagged as helpful so it's up to us to get the rec questions closed

Yes! I made it on the starboard in the Lounce<C++>!

@Bart I can retire now, ragequit, or both ... nothing more to achieve...
 
Ragequit @rene. Always opt for the ragequit. Oooh, and start a blog about how terrible this site it, but make sure your "facts" are incorrect.
 
wonder how many ragequits the staff of SO had to endure before they started work on a mechanism to protect against it...
 
@Bart Getting my facts wrong might be my biggest problem....
 
@Bart :D People started being more rude after that, so your plan failed! :P

@bummi why?

9:37 PM
@bummi The one directly below it is link-only: stackoverflow.com/a/27910373/656243
 
@LynnCrumbling yes this is flagged already, the other one makes me think (comment + link only) ? I think I won't touch it ...
 
@bummi I'd flag that naa. it's a couple of links + "go read wikipedia".
@bummi Flagged.
 
@LynnCrumbling ok, so no need for me to engage, thx
oups ... notebook power is down :(
 
@bummi Yeah.. we'll see if any action is taken.
@bummi Still waiting for action on this: stackoverflow.com/search?q=vrest.io
 
@LynnCrumbling I gave it a try (Spam flag on the one not asking for an external tool), maybe declined or disputed, I think closing of the OT's will stay for as in any case.

user259867
gone, edit or not.
 
@LynnCrumbling yes, I'll have to live with it if it get's declined, IMHO it was an advertisement to a question not asking for
 
10:02 PM
@bummi I very much view it as spam.. much different from his other "semi-relevant" posts. I've already flagged that one for mod attention, otherwise I'd go ahead and just flag it spam, too.
 
@LynnCrumbling let's wait ...
 
@bummi It's gone.
And that search (stackoverflow.com/search?q=vrest.io) returns 0 results.
 
@LynnCrumbling link?
 
@Undo They've all been removed; was at stackoverflow.com/a/26379655/656243
 
ah
 
10:09 PM
@LynnCrumbling and the ones I had in my favorites for closing/deleting too :)
 
@bummi Good.. case closed.
 
@LynnCrumbling lesson, don't be to shy, trust your Mod's :)

A: What does "Meta police" mean?

Derf SkrenIt isn't difficult to understand at all. The meta police are the people who come to edit your post 3 seconds after you've made it, without contributing or answering. They'll often leave a snide comment after doing so. Users find it annoying to get notifications about their question that have not...

 
10:27 PM
Quick inquiry: Are trusted users (20K+ rep) able to vote to undelete a question? Are there any restrictions?
 
@Shog9 9 months after the split, how much is the participation of users that are active on the site vs those that participate in MSO?
@Werner actually, since 10k you can vote to undelete a question
 
user259867
@Werner Everyone with 10K+ can vote to undelete a question. Unless it's locked or has been deleted by a moderator.
 
the only difference between 20kers and 10kers in deletion/undeletion terms is that the former can act directly on answers without affecting the question
 
user259867
And also that 20K allows immediate votes to delete on questions with -3 or less.
 
@Braiam Ahhh, that's what I was missing. The help centre on Trusted User only mentions "undelete an answer"...
...but it's included as part of the 10K privilege.
Would it be beneficial to update the Trusted User help page to include a reference to undeletion of questions?
 
user259867
10:30 PM
@Werner No, because it's a 10K privilege. Listing it there would imply one needs 20K for it.
 
@Fundamental True, true...
Thanks, by the way.
 
user259867
gone
 
@Andy screenshot? Or poke @Undo.

@hichris123 wanted to see if we could make it show individual test results
 
Oh Travis passed so it doesn't really matter...
 
!!/rev?
 
@Fundamental ^ Done
That was... four minutes.
unacceptable.
 
user259867
10:42 PM
Smokey should have a command !!/add "regex" :)
 
too dangerous
(== me too lazy)
 
user259867
Yes, that wasn't serious.
 
Really, it would be cool to have
I guess in theory it could edit its own source code, commit, push, test, and restart.
sounds hard :/
 
user259867
I imagined this would require regex being stored separately, like the doctypes.
 
Yeah, we'd have to.
 
user259867
10:44 PM
Which of course entails refactoring of spam-finding things.
 
Not so much
All the spam-checking code is in one spot.
thanks to @ProgramFOX's refactoring a few days ago
 
user259867
Also, it would have to be separate regexes instead of the current long |...|...|...|... thing.
 
user259867
since modifying that is probably too complicated.

@Fundamental Ugh I'll take a look.
 
@bjb568 They're watching you.
 
:O
Must be like Shog, looking at the logs.
 
@bjb568 ::Reply-to-email:: stop it. this is seriously creepy.
 
Meh, probably feeds to a bot.
 
ok. the nighttime cleaning staff has come in. that means I'm here too late. 'night all.
 
11:15 PM
It might even reply back with markov chains fed with moar logs!
 
Nah, actual people @bjb568 who take the "integration" part a bit too far. Next thing you know they'll be moving in with you.
 
@LynnCrumbling bye :P
 
cya @LynnCrumbling
 
pushes unsubscribe button
 
huh, it should be working @Fundamental
 
11:19 PM
@Braiam not sure what you're asking
 
user259867
@hichris123 The first time it was triggered by title only, I replied "ignore" and got confirmation. Then it was triggered by title & body. Same postId, 6002. So it's not just the body check... strange.
 
@Shog9 Active on MSO / active on SO ratio pre- and post- split?
 
@Fundamental Ah ok it was the answer that triggered it?
 
user259867
@hichris123 The link is to the question, though.
 
@Fundamental Yeah it doesn't look like that was implemented?
Ugh this is confusing.
 
11:24 PM
Worth noting that since the split, participation on MSO from active SO users is way, way up - I'm hoping this eventually leads to less of a perceived divide between the folks running the site and the folks talking about running the site. — Shog9 ♦ Aug 9 '14 at 17:28

I hate playing a backseat driver, but I never found time to learn Python... :(
 
what is the status of that?
 
A lot of sites do that @bjb ^
 
Whee more refactoring.
 
O_O
 
11:31 PM
Or I just attract all the spam mails.
 
Okay, testing Smokey, sorry if there's any double reports.
 
user259867
Are double parentheses in is_ignored_post((post_id, post_site)) intended?
 
@Fundamental Yeah. It's a tuple.
 
user259867
But not in has_already_been_posted(post_site, post_id, title) or is_false_positive(post_id, post_site). Inconsistency! /backseat driver/
 
lol
@Fundamental Huh, is_false_positive seems like it shouldn't be.
 
user259867
11:43 PM
@hichris123 No, it seems correct: def is_false_positive(post_id, site_name):
 
user259867
Consistent in its inconsistency, that is.
 
@Fundamental Yeah, but it can use a tuple it looks like.
Ugh what's a recent fp?
Eh, let's just let that run.
Hopefully this doesn't break anything...
